What is a Pediatric Dentist?

Unlike general dentists, pediatric dentists are trained to care for children’s teeth from infancy through adolescence, adapting to each stage.

Why is it important?

Starting around 6 months of age, children begin developing their baby teeth. By the time they’re 6 or 7 years old, they usually start losing their first set. Because of these changes, early dental care plays a key role in long-term oral health. The sooner children begin regular dental checkups, the better their chances of maintaining a healthy smile for life. In addition, early visits help prevent cavities and tooth decay, which can lead to pain, trouble concentrating, and other health issues. Children with strong teeth can chew more easily, speak more clearly, and smile with greater confidence.

Protect Your Children's Teeth

The American Dental Association and The American Academy of Pediatrics say that every child should visit a dentist by age 1 – or as soon as the first tooth appears. This “well baby visit” teaches parents and caregivers how to care for their children’s teeth and help them remain cavity-free.
